What Are Poets For? - An Anthropology of Contemporary Poetry and Poetics

Klappentext Explores typographical experiments that distribute letters randomly across a printed page! sound tracks made of vocal and buccal noises! and holographic poems that recompose themselves as one travels through their digital space. The purpose of the book is to illuminate this strange poetic landscape! spotlighting and describing such oddities as they appear! anomalies that most contemporary poetry criticism ignores.
